Bird on Diet Rail in Evening Kennel Corridor

Cool evening light flattens the stainless steel edges of a diet card rail where a small bird stands in profile. The corridor stretches forward with identical doors lining both sides, a spatial impossibility where rooms should exist behind them. Early winter shadows fall across the floor, highlighting the texture of the acrylic surfaces and the metallic sheen of the counter. Behind the bird, rows of kennels and grooming stations recede into the blue twilight. The light from the window casts long, even shadows that emphasize the repetitive geometry of the doors. One reflection of the bird's beak glints on the polished metal edge of the rail.
